Description
The PowerBox Evo is an ultra-compact dual power supply featuring 7 channels, regulated output voltage and telemetry.
The 7 inputs are assigned to 10 outputs, allowing two servos to be controlled in parallel on each of 3 channels, without requiring additional Y-leads. All servo outputs have integral signal amplification and are protected against servo feedback currents.
The PowerBox MicroSwitch included in the set is not subject to wear, and operates both electronic switches reliably. It is also used to set the output voltage and the battery type. By default the two high-performance voltage regulators deliver 6.0V, but that value can easily be changed to 7.4V, 7.8V or no regulation at all using the PowerBox MicroSwitch. The machined aluminium heat-sink ensures a high continuous load capacity.
The PowerBox Evo supports all current telemetry systems: PowerBox, Jeti, Futaba, Multiplex, Graupner, Spektrum and JR, which means that the voltage of both batteries can be monitored conveniently from the transmitter. It is also possible to read off the state of charge of the batteries at any time using the two tri-colour LEDs.
